I have used this service since its start, not as a publisher but as an advertiser for my websites.I recall the first ad was for my own URL shortening service (w/out ads), and it was even a bit aggressive ("tired of waiting for redirection? my shortener has no ads"); recently I have taken a more passive approach since I figured out CoinURL isn't exactly in the same market/user base as my URL shortener - no need to get more enemies More recently, I also bought ads for another website of my own, with positive results - even though the ad I posted for it accidentally broke the iframe of the redirection page, support contacted me in a few hours and I had the problem solved in a couple more. CoinURL also implemented the feature I suggested in the emails we exchanged, the one of ad preview (exactly to prevent broken iframes).

As an advertiser, I'm quite satisfied with this service and its support system (fast reply, no annoying ticket system, and even accept users' suggestions), even though as an link-clicking user I really hate services like CoinURL, making me wait to browse to the links I clicked.

Maybe I have incorrectly understood what did you mean and in fact you are asking about limiting overall number of impressions per day, not views by the same user. If yes, you just don't understand how are auction-based ads working! Completion speed (number of impressions per day) depends from CPM bid, therefore to get less impressions just pay cheaper price!

I do understand how are auction-based ads work.

The problem is when all other ads expire. Yesterday I got 28.7k impressions (87% of total impressions). This way my ads will expire all in the same day, and I don't want this.It would be nice if we could edit active ads.

You must blame link publishers who force you to wait! In CoinURL, unlike AdFly, any publisher can set maximum wait time applicable for their links, depending on how does his audience tolerate forced wait time.

Someone have started to use auto shortening feature on his highly visited site, so average number of clicks per day skyrocketed by 10 times. Even I haven't expected such big instant growth! It proves that using my auto shortening script is the same easy like putting banner ads.

P.S. Few days ago someone with heavy traffic website installed our auto shortening script and boosted number of clicks to more than 30k per day. This traffic is absolutely legitimate and has very high quality (visitors mostly from U.S. and western Europe). Many advertisers were not ready for this significant increase of the traffic and their remaining impressions depleted, so advertising cost dropped to the ridiculously low value ~0.045 BTC per mille.

Don't miss your opportunity while eyes of these visitors are so damn cheap!

On advertisement's stats page you can estimate performance of the ad: expected number of impressions per day and campaign's completion time. Use this data to adjust CPM bid and achieve the best cost/speed ratio! See an example.

The orange, changed image looks better on the website. Even though it looks fine now, take care not to abuse of the orange color if you ever make more changes to the layout. Too much orange is one of the problems I find on some websites with the United theme.
